Discarded
Last of the snow posts – it’s weird how permanent the snow seems when it first falls and yet it’s gone so quickly – it’s also odd how fast the snow goes from “Oooooh, pretty!” to “Pain in the arse this snow, can’t wait for it to melt!”.
Anyway, back to the shot – I liked how the blue of the umbrella stood out against the snow but sat nicely with the sky. This is another shot from Calderstones Park, a madly popular place when the snow falls.
Brrr-anching Out
Apologies for the puntastic title – not had a chance to get out shooting for a while so have one from the snow days, this is one of the lovely old trees in Calderstones Park.
Bishop Eton & St.Peter’s, Liverpool
These shots are taken in two churchyards local to me – Bishop Eton, Childwall and St.Peter’s in Woolton. I noticed how fetching Bishop Eton looked in the snow and then decided to walk to Woolton to have a look around St.Peter’s, which seemed like a good idea at the time but by the time I’d back I was absolutely in bits!
I’m not religious myself but I’ve got an endless fascination for churches, churchyards, graveyards etc – I think this stems back from being taken to see the two cathedrals in Liverpool when I was little by my grandparents, I particularly remember the sheer scale of the Anglican and the unusual light in the Catholic cathedral. Anyway, both churches have lovely churchyards and are well worth taking a look if you’re ever in the area (St.Peter’s also has the ‘Eleanor Rigby’ grave)
Foxy!
Spotted this little fella frolicking in the snow in the back garden – I didn’t want to go out in the snow as I’ve seen plenty enough of it recently so he’s saved me from going outside (and no doubt falling on my clumsy arse!)
Calderstones Park, Liverpool
Another long exposure night shot from my walkabout in the snow, this time from Calderstones Park. The park was busier than a summers afternoon with people taking advantage of the snow – just as well, seeing as though it didn’t last very long. More is forecast for tomorrow but we’ll see!
Snow Walkabout – Calderstones Park, Liverpool
Night time exposures of the snow we’ve been having – first chance I’ve had to play about with the snow. Got soaking and froze doing it but had fun none the less.
In other news, I’ve added some downloadable wallpapers to the site here. There’s only 3 lots at the moment but as I think of some additional suitable ones I’ll add to the list. Enjoy….
